Expression of growth factor receptors in malignant mesothelioma cells

	ZL34	SPC212	M28K	M38K	STAV-FCS	ZL5
Expression of growth factor receptors was performed using RT-PCR; + indicates PCR product detected, – indicates no PCR product detected.
Positive controls: for EGFR, U-1080; for c-erbB2, B3, B4 and IGF-IR, MCF-7; for PDGFR-β, M14k; for IGF-IIR, chang; for c-kit, NCI H69; for FGFR-1, -2, -3 and -4, T-47D. Negative controls: no template added.
